CONMENCEMENT r c CE1eanor Erabazonl tn the evening of December 7 1951 Port Perry United Church was the scene of the Annual Commencement Exerciseseof Fort Perryi High School. In our last edition of 'The Hilltop' it was stated that the 1950 Commencement was 'the most successful in the history of the school' -but-surely the capacity audience of proud parents and interested spectators will agree that this year's commence- ment surpassed all others. Singing the school songs the students entered the auditorium of the Church and took their respective places. After 'O Canada' was,sung and the prayer of invocation was given by Rev. John Riddell, Mr. J. Crane welcomed the audience and spoke briefly of the linn -..Jean the olde: and younger generations. He asked that the older generation help the young people of to-day to travel c on the right bus which would carry them to success. The Chairman of the Board of Lducation, Dr. Irvin, also ex- tended greetings to the audience and made the presentations of scholarships t6 Howard Varvey,'Barbara Dobson, Joan Real and Cathryn Hall. ' f Rev. J. np Young, B.L.a. Chaplain of O.n.C., Guelph, was the guest speaker and gave a most interesting and challenging address. He told the gradbates,that it has a privilege for them to graduate and that now, when they are on their own, they must work hard to pay off the debt which cculd only be paid by justifying the faith that had been placed in them and by making the wnrld a better place in which to live. He told the students that the younger generation is losing the spirit of adventure, that security is not for youth and that we must live and work for to- morrow, because Canada's future depends on how much we give to life. Mr. Jeffcrd thanked Padre Young for his inspiring address and Padre presented the Graduation Diplomas. The valedictorian address, which appears elsewhere, was given by Howard Garvey.
